Suspecting a Virus; RAM is 6GB (Only 1.99 usable)

Computer gave me BSOD 3 times today. I am suspecting a virus cause i installed a pirated game with a crack recently. Whenever the computer reboots, it reboots twice and then starts windows normally. RAM is 6GB but it says only 1.99 is usable which is a new thing. I attached the scan logs and i really appreciate your kind help. Thanks in advance...

I am really sorry to trouble you but bro, How do explain this: i get "Not Available" in both RAM and CPU when i login in a guest account whereas i get normal specs if i login into an admin account. Also, yesterday when i had several BSODs, I then got the Ram again to show usable 1.99 GB and my computer will freeze. I rebooted and i went into safemode and ran AdwCleaner and Malewarebytes and after that i ran Combofix. Now the RAM is back to 6GB but i am afraid it will be corrupted again if we dont get the root cause of this: a rootkit or bootkit. I ran GMER tool and it gave me several results in the scan but i didnt know what to do with them. By the way, i deleted Chrome (my preferred browser) and made sure all user data folders are removed from the drive because i think it was packing several malicious extensions

So what you are telling me is that you went ahead and ran a bunch of tools with out me telling you to? Now I have no idea what they have done. None of the logs you have provided is showing a rootkit or bootkit. Now please don't run any more tools unless I direct you to. Did you run the windows repair tool?

Thank you brother for your concern. The system is more stable now. Although I am still afraid to login into an administrator account and still using guest account to limit chances of malware s coming back. Also, the CPU and RAM shows "Not Available" in computer properties. Anyhow, here are the logs of the windows repair tool: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gl5xt79xzvudqu3/Repair_MSI_Windows_Installer.rar?dl=0
